No more scratchers for me. No more.Reply
Aren't scratchers subject to fraud? I remember a story not long ago where a store employee took a needle and scratched a thin line across the scratcher bar code, she was then able to scan it to see if it was a winner. She then bought the winning scratcher and cashed it in. Don't remember how they caught her but I'm glad they did.

Thank you for the replies. I've been told that I can't do it and I've been told that I can do it. I just don't want to get down the road and get audited and be accused of fraud. All of my losses are true losses and it makes the difference between paying $5100 or receiving back $3100.

N.C. Powerball winner target of $10M lawsuit by local pastorReply
Miss Holmes has done some dumb things, but i'm on her side with this. This fraud man of God needs to just go away. If this man wasn't planning to scheme why would he record their conversation on the sly? What kind of Minister does this? However, I wouldn't be surprised if she loses this case since i've seen other bogus cases result in wins for the huckster.

Why couldn't the Lottery use the 863255334 on the ticket it was purchase on a Sat. and see if it match what was print at the winning store. No two tickets have the same number, see if it is a fraud that way?

After an investigation into the NYS Lottery division's practices of how the conduct their sales of Scratch offs I have no choice but to conclude that NYS Lottery conducted an all out attempt to prevent the final top prize of Game 596 1 million dollars a year for life scratch off from being claimed.

Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich answers your questionsReply
I understand your concern. There have been instances, however, where both ball-drawing equipment and RNGs have been compromised. The critical issue, as you have referenced, is having the security and integrity measures in place to protect against wrong-doing. Someone will always be trying to beat the system, and lotteries constantly have to make improvements to guard against that. The breach of trust in the lottery jackpot investigation stems from the actions of those who apparently were willing

Lottery scandal unlikely to affect New Mexico, official saysReply
I think what they are saying is that Tipton knew what numbers to play because of the software that was installed, therefore only jackpot winning tickets with player opted picks would be susceptible to possible fraud connected to the scheme, likewise, subject to inquiry within the investigation.
